Applauded by critics upon its unveiling at CES 2015 for its game changing innovations, the R.A.T. PROX is designed to be the world's most advanced gaming mouse. Featuring a super durable magnesium alloy chassis, the R.A.T. PROX caters to the most demanding PC gamer with groundbreaking features and a level of customization never before seen.
Designed to future-proof their game, players can upgrade their R.A.T. PROX over time, thanks to its unique Modular Sensor Units (MSU).

PROX allows gamers to hot-swap in or out the Modular Senor Unit to suit their individual style of play or when new sensors become available.
The R.A.T. PROX also features an innovative Scroll Wheel system, allowing gamers to adjust the click force of the wheel, swap out the wheel itself and even utilize a new analogue strafe feature, giving gamers for the first time analog control over the horizontal movement on the scroll wheel.
"Since its debut at CES, the reaction to the R.A.T. PROX, which launches the next-generation of our immensely popular R.A.T. line of gaming mice, has been amazing. The R.A.T. PROX is designed for passionate PC gamers who demand high-end performance and specialty hardware which can be customized to suit their individual style of play," said Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz.
